From dance floors to concert halls, the Syncopaths bring a fresh, contemporary spin to music and songs rooted in the Scottish, Irish, and American folk traditions. Evolving beyond their contra dance origins, they are creating a “chamber folk” sound characterized by the compelling, rhythmic interplay of fiddle and mandolin, rich vocals, and unexpected colors and rhythms from the piano and bodhrán. The exuberant joy they derive from the music and each other is palpable and contagious.

“Though they may not have the international acclaim of the likes of Solas or the Chieftains, make no mistake, the Syncopaths are nothing short of a Celtic supergroup.” — Irish Herald

About the Santa Barbara Country Dance Society (SBCDS) and Contra Dances

Contra dances are sponsored by the Santa Barbara Country Dance Society and the City of Santa Barbara Parks & Recreation Board. They brings contra dances to you almost every Sunday. Our Contra dance always has a live band and a live caller. Many moves are similar to square dancing and the caller walks the dancers through the moves before each dance. There is always a lesson at 6:10pm before the dances. See the schedule at https://www.sbcds.org/contradance/schedule/
